INL IMPACTS 2006

In 2006, Boise State University’s College of Business and Economics evaluated the effects on the Idaho economy of all cleanup, research and administrative operations at the INL site. The Impacts 2006 report details the results of this latest comprehensive research and demonstrates to stakeholders the significant and positive effects INL-site operations have on the region immediately surrounding our facilities, as well as on the entire state.

The report provides an analysis of three dimensions of the Lab’s contributions to the state and region. The first is INL’s impact on employment, personal income and total output for the state. The report also assesses the impacts of the Lab and its employees on state and local tax revenues. Third, the study examines the effects of INL-site employees’ charitable contributions, educational outreach and volunteer activities on the surrounding communities and the state. The report measures direct, secondary and tertiary impacts of INL’s operations. http://www.inl.gov/featurestories/docs/economic_impact.pdf
